I am taking 3 half days holiday to view the UK championship as it is a snooker tourny that is close to my heart and I like to see as much of it as I can. This year I will have the Tues, Weds and Thurs as half days, so leaving work at circa 10.30am. This early finish and snooker on the box = take-away time.

The 2012 Smart UK Take-Away Schedule is as follows.........:

TUESDAY: BIG MAC MEAL (with chocolate milkshake) - with any luck they will have a BOGOF deal on BigMacs - ummmmm Gerkins

If only I liked cheese then I would be thinking along the same lines as you mate. I like the chicken and chips option you have highlighted and perhaps I should include KFC at the expense of one of the Chinese options I picked, this is harder than I imagined mate. You know when you got to make big decisions in life and you just dont wanna screw up.

Let hope we both make the right choices here. GL fella

KFC > Chick N'Box

But Chick N'Box is at the end of my road.

Tough decisions.

I gotta get in the wagon to pick up any of my choices but not far. I got KFC pretty close, MissMillie further out but loads of Chinkys are close drive away, ...................KEBAB is another option that should not be dismissed without consideration,

how about we broker a compromise deal

you hit a dancefloor this weekend and ill eat a pork chop ?

How do you read what I said and arrive at the conclusion that I want you to eat a pork chop?

1) Before the tournament starts do I buy a case of lagers for the week's entertainment?

Advantages: You can often get cheap deals, especially on the run up to Christmas. 10 cans for £8, 20 cans for £14 etc... Cheap option, and I wouldn't need to go to the shop each time I want beer.

Disadvantages: If I buy a ten box, I tend to drink 8 of them on the first day, and have to go and buy more anyway. Or I drink the whole lot, and feel so bad about doing it I don't drink any more for the rest of the week.

2) Or do I go for the 'buy them when I need them policy'.

Advantage: I can pretend I'm pacing myself, even though I'm not. If I fancy a change of brand half-way through the week, it's no problem. Also, I won't run the risk of buying a load of beer, spending a lot of time watching the matches elsewhere, and having loads of beer left at home.

Disadvantage: Expense. Also I live next door to a pub, so if I only buy a four-pack and feel like more I'll just go next door and ask them to put the snooker on. Last time I did that, I got really snake hissed and nearly got barred for having a 'disagreement' with the barmaid. It's a bit risky.

I'm at my dad's. I watch the John Higgins game. Very enjoyable. Watch a historic England performance against the All Blacks, where they won for the first time in nine years. We order a curry. I order a Chicken Tikka Massla.

They send a bucking Chicken Korma.

Now I'll always associate a historic sporting result with something being cocked up. When people ask me if I remember 'that All Black win'? My reply will be; "Yes. I was eating a bloody Chicken Korma."

I've been looking forward to a CTM all week. It's one of my favourite meals. The UK Championship may well be ruined for me now.
